ModPred: predictor of post-translational modification sites in proteins

ModPred is a sequence-based predictor of potential post-translational modification (PTM) sites in proteins. It consists of 34 ensembles of logistic regression models, trained separately on a combined set of 126,036 non-redundant experimentally verified sites for 23 different modifications, obtained from public databases and an ad-hoc literature search.

ASEB: A Web Server for KAT-specific Acetylation Site Prediction

Lysine acetylation is one of the important post-translational modifications of both histone and non-histone proteins. Thousands of acetylated proteins are known. However, few lysine acetylation transferases (KAT) responsible for the acetylation of these proteins have been identified. ASEB developed the Acetylation Set Enrichment-Based (ASEB) method to predict the KAT families responsible for a given protein.

 

LysAcet: Lysine Acetylation Predictor

Reversible acetylation on lysine residues, a crucial post-translational modification (PTM) for both histone and non-histone proteins, governs many central cellular processes. Due to limited data and lack of a clear acetylation consensus sequence, little research has focused on prediction of lysine acetylation sites. Incorporating almost all currently available lysine acetylation information, and using the support vector machine (SVM) method along with coding schema for protein sequence coupling patterns, we propose here a novel lysine acetylation prediction algorithm: LysAcet.

ESA-UbiSite: A web server for identification of Ubiquitination Sites

Numerous ubiquitination sites remain undiscovered because of the limitations of mass spectrometry-based methods. In fact, some sites that undergo ubiquitination have not been identified. In this work, we propose an evolutionary screening algorithm (ESA) to select effective negatives from among non-validated sites and an ESA-based prediction method, ESA-UbiSite, to identify human ubiquitination sites. Experimental results show that ESA-UbiSite with effective negatives achieved 0.92 test accuracy, better than existing prediction methods.
